The Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Sokoto, Most Rev. Matthew Kukah, has called on Nigerians to approach the 2027 general elections with careful consideration, stressing the importance of making informed choices at the polls.
Kukah made the call on Friday while speaking on the sidelines of activities marking the 70th anniversary of Saint Finbarr’s College.
The Catholic bishop advised citizens to thoroughly examine the records, backgrounds and programmes of candidates before deciding who to support.
He also encouraged voters to take advantage of information available online to research political candidates and assess their suitability for public office.
Kukah stressed that Nigerians should recognise the significance of their votes and participate in the electoral process with a clear understanding of the issues and choices before them.

Nigeria’s petrol prices may face downward pressure following a fresh decline in international crude oil prices, amid growing optimism that diplomatic efforts to end the conflict between the United States and Iran could lead to the resumption of crude oil and petroleum product shipments through the strategic Strait of Hormuz.
The development could ease pressure on global oil markets, as the Strait of Hormuz remains a major international route for crude oil and petroleum product transportation.
A possible restoration of shipping activities through the waterway is expected to improve global supply and reduce concerns over disruptions that have contributed to fluctuations in oil prices.

The Presidency and presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, have exchanged words following allegations that officials of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) prevented him from greeting Nigeria’s victorious Under-17 women’s national football team, the Flamingos, at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.
Obi alleged that NFF officials stopped him from approaching the players when he encountered the team at the airport on Monday, following their return from Morocco with the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup trophy.
In a statement issued through his media office, the former Anambra State governor said he had asked his protocol officer, Jackie Wayas, to find out whether he could welcome and congratulate the players.
